"dont bring me down" - elo

Guitar riff from "Down by the River"

Also - and i attempted this one time - opening bar of Dennis Wilson's "Dreamer" slightly sped up.

I'm sure something could be done with the opening 5 seconds of this:

Goddamit! I was going to suggest Menahan Street Band's 'Make the road by walking' because its really sample-worthy but I just found out Jay Z already used it. Argh-

Tom Ze - Dor e dor

Moka, Sunday, 23 August 2009 22:05 (3 years ago) Permalink

^ Both the intro and the wicked horn section... tho it might be hard getting a clean sample out of the horn section since he's always singing on top of it.

Hate to do this to you:

(though it sounds like it's been replayed rather than directly sampled)

chap, Sunday, 23 August 2009 22:17 (3 years ago) Permalink

fuuuuuuuuuck!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not being replayed, it's a sample lifted from 'Quero Sambal Meu Bem' from Tom Ze as well. He uses the same riff in both songs.

That's it. I'm dropping off of university to pursue my dream of becoming a producer.

Moka, Sunday, 23 August 2009 22:22 (3 years ago) Permalink

Sorry I meant 'Jimmy Renda-Se' not 'Quero samba meu bem'

Moka, Sunday, 23 August 2009 22:25 (3 years ago) Permalink

So Amerie's sampling Tom Ze and making videos based on "Blow Up"???? Gunnin for that indie love, huh. ;)

This is a rad thread, btw.

I don't know how there isn't a 20-minute cosmic beats+echo edit of 10cc's "I'm Not In Love" out there. (Maybe there is, but I haven't found it yet.)

Once I thought I was really clever and sampled the drum intro to Amon Duul II's "Archangels Thunderbird" and sped it up to a dnb-ish tempo and it sounded really familiar. Has this break already done the rounds or does it just sound like a bunch of others?

The RZA needs to get on the first few seconds of this.

Here's a bit of background on that, if you care.

Alex in NYC, Tuesday, 25 August 2009 20:10 (3 years ago) Permalink

^ I would prob. sample "Wheel And Turn Me" from Blind Blake Vol. II

Also, "Get The Money (Uncle Scrooge's Money)" from Mousercise.

Have to admit he did cool things with the sample :(

Sampled by A Tribe Called Quest on a 12" version of Bonita Applebaum, but would love to hear it in yet another context. A big fan of those cheap flute synths.

Actually I think that the sample comes from the chic remix:

Marcos Valle - Parabens

First 30 seconds or so.

Moka, Wednesday, 17 March 2010 19:51 (3 years ago) Permalink

Magnetic Fields - The Dreaming Moon

Several snippets from the intro and the vibraphone breaks would make a great edit.

Moka, Wednesday, 17 March 2010 19:54 (3 years ago) Permalink

Ok last one for the day, I promise. Mariah - 心臓の扉 (Shinzo No Tobira)

Great hooks throughout the song. No idea what kind of genre could find use in a sample like this one but would love to hear it anyways.

Moka, Wednesday, 17 March 2010 20:24 (3 years ago) Permalink

Ok I lied, but I promise this is the last one I'll post in months:

Jan Hammer - Don't You Know

In the same vein as the Captain Beefheart and Dennis Wilson suggestions upthread (which I agree would make great samples).

Ok I'm almost 100% sure that some (american?) disco artist covered that Esmeray track at some point but I can't find any info on it. It seems Turkey doesn't exist in the internets.

It's funny that this topic has cropped up, because I was listening to some music on shuffle play earlier and 'Beggars Farm' by Jethro Tull came on (from the album This Was) and I was so tempted to sample and loop the intro.
